Note

Stacked on #1862 — the base is feat/minify-html, and the diff drops to
one commit once that lands.

SVG is optimized on the way out: both the marks inlined into pages and
the eight files copied alongside. The sources are not touched. A mark
in the repository keeps its file header, its indentation and its line
breaks; only what a reader downloads is squeezed.

$ git status --short -- '*.svg'
                                    # nothing

$ wc -c < _assets/img/logogram.svg          # source
1022
$ wc -c < _site/assets/img/logogram.svg     # published
665

What it saves

before after saved
HTML (inlined marks) 251,307 236,141 15,166 (6.0%)
SVG files 31,072 24,850 6,222 (20.0%)
together 282,379 260,991 21,388

The HTML figure is on top of what #1862 saves. Two in five bytes of a
built page are an inlined mark, and the minifier does not read inside
one.

Two mechanisms, because assets arrive two ways

Inlined marks go through a transform registered ahead of the minifier,
so the minifier sees markup already as small as it gets. The eight
image files are copied rather than rendered and meet no transform at
all; they are optimized in a pass over the output.

Marks reach a page from more than one place. Ten come from
{% include %}, two are written into a template, and seven are emitted
by markdown-it-github-alerts as octicons — one for every [!NOTE] and
[!WARNING] in the documentation. A pass over the output is what
catches all three.

Finding a mark is htmlparser2's job

The parser is asked only where each element starts and ends. The markup
handed on is cut from the page as it was written, so nothing outside a
mark is rewritten by having been read — no reserializing, no entity
round-trip, no attribute requoting, and viewBox cannot be lowercased
by a serializer it never passes through.

htmlparser2 is already in the tree by way of @11ty/eleventy and
posthtml, but at 7.2.0 from 2021 and not reachable from the root under
pnpm. This takes 12.0.0 rather than pin to a four-year-old parser to
save a duplicate; 7.2.0 passes the same cases, so the choice is currency
rather than correctness.

A lost viewBox stops the build

A mark here carries no width or height — the stylesheet sizes one
axis and the ratio comes from the box. A lost viewBox leaves one
drawing at no size, on a page that still validates and still loads.
removeViewBox is not in svgo 4's default preset, so configuring it off
is a no-op that warns on every file. The invariant is asserted instead,
reading the outermost element's attributes as the parser gives them:

if (hasViewBox(svg) && !hasViewBox(optimized)) {
  throw new Error('SVG optimization dropped a viewBox');
}

There is no try/catch around the optimizer. Every mark is written in
this repository or emitted by a plugin in it, so a failure is a broken
file rather than bad input, and swallowing it would ship the file
unoptimized and say nothing.

Ids are shortened in a file, never in a page

A file is the only thing that can hold its own ids, so shortening is
free there — that is where the thirty-odd generated ids in the flower of
life go. A page holds every mark at once, and the shortest name free in
each is the same name, so two marks that arrived with different ids
would leave with one between them and url(#…) in the second would
reach into the first. Nothing inlined here carries an id today, so this
costs nothing and prevents the build from being the thing that hands out
the collision.

Verified

  • Renders unchanged. Ten screenshots — five pages at phone and
    desktop, drawer open included — captured before and after: nine
    identical to the pixel at zero tolerance, and about-phone differs by
    2 of 4,752,540 (0.00004%), where rounded path coordinates land
    either side of the same edge on the flower-of-life background.
  • viewBox intact on all 8 files and all 6 inline marks on the home
    page; no lowercased viewbox anywhere.
  • No duplicate ids in any page.
  • Scripts untouched — an <svg> written inside one is a string, not
    markup.
  • nps verify.htmlValidForVNU passes on the optimized output.
  • The development build is untouched: logogram.svg is still 1,022
    bytes there and still carries its file header.
  • The drawer still opens, closes on Escape and on the backdrop, and
    moves focus and returns it.
  • nps test passes.

minification; preserve valid url(#...) and use references.

DerekNonGeneric changed the base branch from feat/minify-html to live August 26, 2026 03:06
Two in five bytes of a built page are an inlined mark, and the HTML
minifier does not read inside one. The eight images copied alongside
carry editor leftovers as well -- thirty-odd generated ids in the
flower of life alone.

Both are optimized on the way out, which leaves the sources as they are
written: a mark in the repository keeps its file header and its line
breaks, and only what a reader downloads is squeezed. Inline marks are
handled by a transform ahead of the minifier, images by a pass over the
output, since nothing copied rather than rendered meets a transform.

A mark here carries no width or height and takes its ratio from the
box, so a lost `viewBox` leaves it drawing at no size, on a page that
still validates and still loads. The build stops if one goes missing
rather than trusting a plugin list to keep it, and it reads the
opening tag: a comment saying the word is not the attribute, and the
comment does not survive being optimized either.

Where a mark begins and ends is a question about HTML, and htmlparser2
answers it: nesting, quoting, a tag that closes itself, and the fact
that an `<svg>` inside a script or a comment is text somebody wrote
rather than markup to rewrite. Only the offsets are taken from it, and
the markup handed on is cut from the page as it was written, so nothing
outside a mark is rewritten by having been read.

Ids are left alone in a page and shortened only in a file. A file is
the only thing that can hold its own ids; a page holds every mark at
once, and the shortest name free in each is the same name, so two marks
that arrived with different ids would leave with one between them.

svgo is the version `postcss-svgo` already resolves to, which leaves
one copy in the tree rather than a second major line beside it. The 3.x
release this started on answers to CVE-2026-29074.

Renders are unchanged: nine of ten pages are identical to the pixel,
and the tenth differs by two of 4.75 million, where rounded path
coordinates land either side of the same edge.
